A THOUGHT FOR NOW - SO, WHAT IS REALLY CAUSING THE INCREASE IN DEMENTIA AND ALZHEIMERS DISEASES?

Now, this is just a thought, but what could be the reason/s for the the sudden and apparently significant increase in the incidences of dementia and alzheimer 's diseases?

Why are so many people struggling with their cerebral ability to recall things and make the effortless connection they used to be able to make between, say, objects or people and their names?

Dementia and alzheimers used to be conditions which affected 'the elderly' in the past, but the prevalence of these conditions seem to be very much on the rise. Not only is the increase in these conditions of greater concern, but it does appear that the memory of people who are not of advanced years is now not what it used to be. Quite simply, the memory of ordinary younger people seem to be being less efficient that it has been in the past.

So, why is this? What is it that is having this concerning effect on people's ability to recall information stored in our memories? Is it due to some pernicious degenerative cerebral disease, or is it a result of something even more sinister?

It was not so long ago that people used to raise serious objections about electric pylons or powerful radars and the like being built or located near to or in their neighbourhoods. Today, we still have such facilities constantly bombarding us with their pulses and electronic waves. But, probably of even greater significance, might be the ubiquitous mobile phone, which, like smoking in the presence of other people, might not only be harming the user, but also those around them, through whom the signal might have to make its way to and from the user's phone.

Could the use of mobile phones be affecting people's memories; due to the radiation it is emitting?

Contemporary human is being constantly bombarded by radio waves; so, is is likely that it is not impacting on her cerebral processes?

If it is, how likely is it that the mobile phone industry and governments, might be colluding in keeping quiet about, as ordinary folks continue to neglect our cerebral health in almost blissful ignorance or complacency?

Just as how unhealthy and/or excessive foods and drinks can be harmful to our healthy, so can the excessive radiation and radio waves from the excessive usage of gadgets such as the mobile phones. After all, our brain is a complex computer, so there is no reason why the increased radio activity occurring around us, should not be having a cumulative impact on our brain function, including probably causing a disturbance in our memory programming and recall.

The fact that governments and industry is not saying much or anything about this, should not lull us into a false sense of security, into believing that all is well, since, as we should be only too aware, profits, politics and 'national security' are given priority over the health of a nation's citizens.

In endeavouring to live your life happily, be ever vigilant about the impact of your environment, natural or altered, is or could be having on your health, and make whatever adjustments you can to counter it.

Be more sensual and less technological, as the former is to be more human, and the latter, less so.
